Steel Structures and Fire Safety Research Group

Welcome to the Steel Structures and Fire Safety Research Group (SSFSRG).
Our mission is to advance knowledge and innovation in the field of structural engineering, focusing on the behavior of steel members under fire and extreme conditions. We are dedicated to developing sustainable, efficient, and safe design solutions through research on advanced materials, coatings, and structural systems.

Join us in building a safer and more sustainable future for structural engineering.
